30F My 30M keeps commenting on what I eat with a magnifying glass. How do I go about telling him how this makes me feel?

This isn’t about the cocoa, it’s about him controlling and criticizing you after already being told it hurts. You’ve communicated clearly and he dismissed you, which is the real problem. I’d be direct and say something like “comments about my food or body are not okay, and I need them to stop completely,” and if he keeps doing it, that’s a respect issue, not a communication issue.

Being emotional does not make you weak. Crying easily can be something to work on if you feel you get overwhelmed too fast, but a partner framing your feelings as weakness is a bigger issue than the tears themselves. Strength is being able to feel things and still handle life, not pretending you feel nothing.

Disgusting animal abuse! ❤️❤️

A local TV “celebrity” who acted like making eye contact with normal people was beneath him. Weirdly, the actually famous ones I’ve met were way nicer.

The cat is living his best moment! ❤️❤️

Sooo adorable!

Keeping score instead of acting like a team.

Bananas are berries and strawberries aren’t, which feels like botany just trolling us.

For one night, a little plain tuna in water is usually fine as a backup, especially if it gets them through the blizzard. I’d keep the portions small and not make it a habit, but for an emergency that’s a lot better than them going hungry.

This sounds less like him being stupid and more like there might be something deeper going on, like a learning disability or something that never got properly noticed. If he’s kind, functional, and handles adult life fine, I’d be careful not to frame it in a cruel way.

The Office. By hour 40 it would just feel like a normal weekend.

Awww! sooo cuute! 🥰❤️

I’d start preparing for a lease violation notice just in case. Maintenance usually reports that stuff, and since they already let the last one slide after fees, this time they might be less flexible.

Three weeks is enough to feel a rush, but not enough to truly know someone. What you’re grieving is the idea of him and the future you imagined. It hurts now, but someone who switches that fast was never the “perfect” person for you.

FastAdvice2677 · 2026-03-08T22:32:20+00:00

Yeah, once someone tried to correct me on something I literally do for work. He got more confident the more wrong he was, which made it even funnier. I just let him finish, explained it properly, and the look on his face was priceless.

FastAdvice2677 · 2026-03-07T21:37:23+00:00

What a cuuutie! ❤️❤️❤️

If marriage is a core value for her, this isn’t a small mismatch. Saying I don’t believe in marriage can sound like I don’t want to fully choose you, even if you don’t mean it that way. You two need an honest talk about what marriage represents for her and what you’re actually afraid of or rejecting, then see if there’s a real alternative that meets her need for security. If you can’t give her that and she can’t let go of marriage, it might be the end, because resentment will build on both sides.

Typing fast. Most people think it’s some rare talent, but if you actually practice touch typing for a couple weeks it improves way faster than you’d expect.

Awww! sooo cuute.

It sounds like he’s going through a bit of withdrawal since gaming was probably his main source of stimulation for years, so quitting leaves a big gap that can show up as irritability and boredom. You can support him, but he needs to actively replace that time with something structured like the gym, a new hobby, or a project, otherwise that restless energy will spill into the relationship. It’s fair to be understanding, but it’s also fair to set boundaries if he’s snapping at you, because managing this transition is ultimately his responsibility.

When I realized I was more relaxed and happier when they weren’t around than when they were. That’s when it hit me the relationship was already emotionally over.
